Steve's big 2019 cycle challenge

Next year, Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland companion Steve will cycle from London to Brighton - to raise funds for us.

On 15 September 2019, Steve Grinstead will be cycling to fundraise for Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland, a charity that's close to his heart as we've supported him by providing a home and meaningful work in a community setting:

Before I found Emmaus, I was homeless for 18 years, living from day to day and not knowing when or if it would ever end. It was a very scary experience. In 2019, I’ll be raising funds for the charity that saved my life."

Steve is no stranger to fundraising, having undertaken several long-distance sponsored walks over the years - for Emmaus and other charities. This time he's changing his mode of transport from foot to pedal-power.

Until recently, I hadn't been on a bike since I was a child, but it's amazing how quickly it all comes back to you. I've invested in a specialist bike for long-distance rides. Over the winter months though, I'll start my training on an indoor exercise bike."
